Spirit Sol 136

I'm on shift, but I have nothing to do. Really nothing: we're in that weird time-phasing mode again, where Earth and Mars times don't align very well for our purposes. As a result, this is a restricted sol, meaning the rover planners have nothing to do. It's all remote science -- taking pictures and MTES observations. No driving, no IDD.

I take the opportunity to catch up on random backlogged junk -- reading email, updating some scripts, you name it. If every day were this interesting, I'd shoot myself.
